Producer/Engineer looking for Recording Studio Collaborator

Please read entire post before responding. Serious inquiries only.

I am an Austin-based producer/engineer of 20 years with a complete recording studio. I am currently being pushed out of my space and looking for a like-minded musician/producer/engineer with a physical space to house a recording studio. I have a LOT of gear. I will collaborate on any modifications (acoustic treatment, cabling, lighting, etc.). The ideal space would be soundproof (if in an urban residential area) or in a rurally secluded location. I do not need living space. I prefer an arrangement that focuses on songwriting, recording, and production -- not rehearsals.

All serious, potential candidates will be background checked and will need at least 3 professional music industry references. I will encourage you to do the same on me. Vibe and work ethic are important.

I am listing some photos of my current studio that is in a Hill Country home. This will give you an idea of the space required. I will also list most of my gear. I am not listing things like cables, patchbays, pop filters, etc. which I have. I am also an electronic engineer and have a complete repair and restoration setup and repair and restore amps, tape machines, and most music gear.

If you are interested, let's meet over a beverage or lunch and discuss.

Got nothing for you, space wise. But I learned how to mix on a Ghost. Love that little console. If you ever want to grab a beer, let me know. Would love to talk shop or talk projects if you’re down.
